Dave Ferraro came from behind in the championship game, as he had in assuming the leading qualifier position, to grab the $125,000 Active West PBA Open at Active West Town Square Lanes. Ferraro, Kingston, N.Y., defeated David Traber, Woodstock, Ill., 217-202, to earn the $18,000 first prize and his second victory of the year.

Traber has been red-hot lately, qualifying among the final five three times in his last four tournaments, and was riding the momentum of two earlier wins in search of his first PBA national title when he faced Ferraro. Traber opened the title game with a double, spare and strike, while Ferraro began with four spares before starting to strike mid-game. He assumed the lead after six frames and nursed a small margin into his eighth PBA victory.

The ABC sports telecast began with 1988 PBA Rookie of the Year getting the better of '88 PBA Player of the Year Brian Voss, 258-224. Traber then entered and out-struck Steelsmith, 269-248, and he continued his hard-throwing pocket hits against Dennis Horan in the semifinal game, 226-216.

San Diego's Horan has led this tournament nearly wire-to-wire, finally relinquishing his five-round hold in the position round, when Ferraro came from far back to overtake him, 240-177 (Horan's last two games totaled 347). Traber earned $9,500 as runnerup, Horan pocketed $7,000 for third, Steelsmith, Wichita, Kan., collected $5,500 for fourth place and Voss, Boca Raton, Fla., $4,500 for fifth. Dave Husted became PBA's ninth career millionaire with his 14th place finish.
